Owing to new regulation of the New
York Cotton Exchange on and after Sep
tember the 1st, 1887, cotton buyers in all
interior towns will deduct from bales
weighing under 400 pounds cent per
pound; under $50 pounds cent per
pound; and packages less than 300 pounds
are not considered bales, and are therefore
mnmerchantabIe. The ginners and far
aners will do we'll to note this fact in put-
&ing up their cotton. They will also find
tito their interest to increase the general
average OF their bales, as the heavy weight
OF bales from the southwest, is, in addi-
tion to the superior staple, an additional
,fnducement for northern and European
-spinners to give their orders to that sec
4ion. This is an important matter to the
ginners and farmers. and should receive
sthAaf attention.
